Strikes from Tynan Thompson, Luca Williams-Barnett, and Yusuf Akhamrich had given Spurs a three goal advatnage in the opening exhanches of the contest before Ellis Harrison and Fabrizio Cavegn scored either side of half-time to reduce the vistors advatage to just one.

The Pirates were in the acandeacy and were pushing for a leveller before Thompson netted his second to restore Spurs' two goal lead. However, after the away side went down to ten men, with Samual Archer shown a red card for a late challenge on Ryan Howely, Darrell Clarke's men regained control.

A free-kick from Isaac Hutchinson and another finish from Cavegn levelled the score at 4-4 before Brad Young was the hero for Rovers in the penalty shoot-out, denying James Roswell's deciding penalty.
